The best coffee makers brew a high-quality cup of coffee quickly and quietly. The coffee should taste rich and fresh, rather than bitter or burnt, and the machine should be good enough to give you something to look forward to in the morning.
However, there are numerous factors to consider when shopping for a new coffee maker. Aside from the type of machine you want, there are capacity, milk frothing options, and even smart connectivity to consider.
Coffee makers machines can now do so much more than they used to. Some machines can brew single espressos, iced coffees, and different temperatures of hot water for different types of tea in a variety of sizes. Whichever features you’re looking for and what you’re willing to pay for, we searched the market for the best performers.
Top Coffee Maker Machines in Kenya:

Oxo 8-Cup Coffee Maker
The newest Oxo coffee maker brews coffee just as well as its predecessor, but it also has the ability to serve a single cup of coffee (anywhere between 10 ounces and 20 ounces) or an entire carafe. The 8-cup brews a pour-over-quality cup of coffee using a Kalita-like adapter, eliminating the need for environmentally harmful coffee pods.
The metallic body and clean lines of the SCA-approved machine also look good on the countertop, while taking up a small amount of space in comparison to most quality-focused coffee makers.
The double-walled thermal carafe eliminates the need for a warming plate, which can degrade the quality of the coffee as it sits on the heater. You get one of the most versatile for the money.

Wacaco Nanopresso (Best coffee maker for drinks on the go)
Before the come up of coffee machines or electrical kitchen appliances like the electric hand mixer or the Juice blender machine, everything was done manually. If you wanted coffee you were required to grind your own coffee beans and make it yourself.
For some of us die hard coffee fans, we have stuck with the old ways of doing things and we like having control on how we make our coffee.
The Wacaco Nanopresso is a small coffee machine that can brew hand-pumped espresso. There is no battery or charging: it is all done by hand-pumping to create up to 18 bars of pressure, and the final outcome is comparable to what you would be served in a coffee shop.

This coffee maker grinds whole coffee beans with a built-in steel conical burr grinder before automatically starting the brewing process in the electric kettle. It has five grind settings for finer or coarser coffee grounds and can brew mild, regular, or strong coffee.
The grind controls took some getting used to because they weren’t as intuitive as other machines, but they were extremely simple to use after a few times. If you run out of whole beans, there’s also the option to brew pre-ground coffee.

Technivorm Moccamaster KBG
Since its introduction in 1969, echnivorm’s Moccamaster has remained among the world’s best coffee makers. It is one of the fastest brewers, thanks to a special copper heating system, and it is praised for consistently producing excellent pots of coffee.
It can be disassembled, allowing you to clean or troubleshoot it yourself (Technivorm’s customer service is among the best we’ve encountered). There are several Moccamaster models available, but this is the one we recommend the most.
Instead of the traditional steel carafe, this model employs a glass carafe and an electric hot plate. The glass makes it easier to tell how much coffee is left and is much easier to clean (it’s difficult to see inside steel carafes).
All Moccamasters are lightning fast to heat and brew coffee, thanks to a copper-based heating element — we clocked in a full 10 cups of brewing in just over five minutes.
